Well it’s certainly been a week of ups and downs. I was beginning to feel like I’d been attached to a yo-yo. The week started off with a trip up to London, only to be told my client didn’t realise they were booked in! So I made use of the time and explore London on foot by walking back from Knightsbridge to Victoria. It’s surprising how close everything really is when you start walking.

Also on a sad note for me, I lost a family pet, who had become a large part of the Wells family life. I think you only realise how much they affect you when they’re not there anymore. There’s that glance when you move the chair so as not to catch them with it, or that moment as you go to say goodbye as you walk out the door and you remember he’s not there. Who’s going to tidy the slippers left on the floor now!I was lucky enough to have had the honour to share his life and for that I will always be grateful.

So what else have I been up to?This week saw me taking my second one-to-one lesson in Kung Fu with the Kung Fu School Crawley. Dave, my instructor, is very patient. I have learnt so much in the first couple of sessions. For me it’s a great new hobby. Kung Fu translates to ‘achievement of man’. It’s helping me focus on the fact that with time and energy, anything can be achieved.You may be wondering what all this has to do with hypnotherapy or the other work that I do?Hypnotherapy is one of many therapies that can help you through the stages of loss. Having someone to talk to when everything seems against you, is like trying to jump that eight foot wall but never quite reaching it, until a friendly pair of hands gives you a lift over.Learning to relax and live in the moment, rather than dwelling on a past that cannot be changed, can be a life changing experience.

Let’s see what October’s got in store for us apart from Ghosts and Ghouls… Oh and of course my yearly trip out on my broomstick on the 31st!For hypnotherapy, sports massage and personal training appointments please contact me via any of the details below.

After a lovely ten-day break in Florida, I now feel thoroughly recharged and ready to take up my pen and paper. There is nothing like swimming with thousands of fish, rays and sharks to make you realise how close we really are to nature, or riding a coaster which takes you through various g-forces!Where is your favourite place to relax? Some may find it’s the beach, others a room in their own home. When I see clients for hypnotherapy I use their favourite resting place to increase their relaxed state. My favourite is a sandy beach with my toes just by the edge of the water and the waves almost tickling my toes as they’re gently drawn back into the sea.

Do you find it hard to relax? Hypnotherapy can show you how to relax. I work with many individuals who, due to work stress, home stress or just plan stress, just can’t relax. Their bodies just go into a vicious circle. They are unable to sleep due to thoughts in their heads, then unable to work effectively due to insomnia. Hypnotherapy can help put them back in control of their thoughts. Most people I’ve seen for hypnotherapy say they get the best night’s sleep ever following the session.

You’d think I’d not been up to much else whilst lazing on loungers and riding rollercoasters. Bet while I was away and after email conversations with Charley Johnson, the President of the Global Pay it Forward Foundation, (www.pifexperience.org) I have now set up a ‘Pay it Forward’ UK group.

What is ‘Pay it Forward’? Years ago I watched a film called ‘Pay it Forward’. It was based on a true story of a social studies class that was set an assignment to change the world. One of the young class members decided his project was to be to ‘Pay it Forward’. Do a good deed for three people and instead of expecting a reward you ask them each to ‘Pay it Forward’ to three more people and so it continues like a small ripple getting bigger and bigger.

Charley Johnson has taken it one step further by offering a bracelet as a reminder of the deed; we will have 10,000 of these in the UK soon. If you are an individual or a company interested in sponsoring the bracelets in the UK please contact me through my web page www.payitforwarduk.netDon’t forget to let us know your PIF experience when giving and receiving apart from the web page you can also follow us on twitter at https://twitter.com/payitforwarduk Don’t forget to use hashtag #pifuk when tweeting about your ‘Pay it Forward’ experience or email us at payitforwarduk@beckywells.com.

What’s in the diary for my first week back? On Monday I’m taking up a new hobby, I’ll leave it till the next blog to tell you all about that. I’m off to see five new personal training clients in Knightsbridge on Monday evening. Then Thursday hopefully will be meeting up with one of the board members from the Pay It Forward foundation.

Schools are getting ready to open their doors, shops are emptying of uniforms. It's that time of year again when most parents breath a sigh of relief as their children go back to school. Teachers prepare for the onslaught of manic kids, exams and the mountains of paperwork that the authorities demand these days.Hypnotherapy for anxiety features high on my treatment lists this time of year. Have you ever had that feeling that it's all just too much? Even trying to sleep your mind buzzes with thoughts that normally just wouldn't matter. So why does hypnotherapy for anxiety help in most cases. Firstly I like to teach my client total relaxation. Just allowing them to go in a deep relaxation helps the subconscious take a nice long deep breath from within. Then on the following sessions I show them how to control the anxiety and not allow it to control them. We all have anxiety to some degree, it's just how we deal with it. Imagine you are standing at the foot of a roller coaster looking up at it. Feeling those butterflies in the stomach would cause some to feel physically sick but others would be buzzing from the adrenaline high. I want clients to feel the latter, in control and ready to take on any challenge they face! You'd be surprised what a few relaxing breaths can do in an intense situation. Do you get that Monday morning feel? Sunday night, Saturday night... or all through the week? Have you tried hypnotherapy? What are my plans for this week? I’m taking myself on holiday and jumping on a plane to Florida. I'm going to be testing out several roller coasters, swimming with Rays at Discovery Cove and spending plenty of time on a sun lounger just taking in as much relaxation as I can by the pool. Even managed to squeeze in a massage in the Upper Class lounge at Gatwick on the way. Even us hypnotherapists need to relax occasionally. Why not book an appointment with me at my Harley Street clinic or in one of my clinics down in Sussex.
